Two down, seven to go

Author: No Comments Share:

Another game, another week closer.

There’s not much left now standing between Wigan Athletic and a return to the Championship.

Seven matches remain which will determine our fate this season and after the absolute heartbreak of 2020/21 it’s amazing to think where we could be after that Shrewsbury match.

That was the only sour point of an otherwise decent week. I’m not here to play the who’s more deserving than who card and Martin Tarbuck of this parish summarised it far better than I could last week.

Suffice to say there was always going to be some disappointed and lots who would miss out, there is solace at least that it may even be decided before then and making Shrewsbury effectively a dead rubber.

For everyone’s sake let’s hope that’s the case.

Away from the ticket office and back on the pitch a return of four points from Bolton and Accrington keeps us nicely poised.

It would have been good to take all three points against the best side in the league (c) David Brent. But I suppose a point was a decent result in what could have been a potential banana skin.

The win over Accrington truly proved this squads class, despite some early Accrington pressure Latics grew in to the game and could have added at least another two to their three goal haul.

It’s back on the road for the next two with Lincoln and Burton up next.

With injuries beginning to bite again it’s going to be tough, but if we can keep winning and put further daylight between us and the chasing pack we’ll be well placed.

On any other season our current points total would surely be enough, but with Franchise FC snapping at our heels we can’t take any chances and simply need to carry on winning.

Three points at the LNER Stadium would be the best way to start that.
